Is the Southern Colony Sustainable?

[Bobj]

I love living where i do,i love the lifestyle and i love the weather, i dont miss the cold and the snow what so ever.

 

Mate!!!!!!

I thought South Australia got very cold.........sorry, it's just the people. :clap2:

As I said once before, it's only there to keep WA and Vic apart.

The weather is the reason I wouldn't want to live anywhere in Australia, except perhaps in eastern Tasmania. Give me snow anytime over 30 degree heat! As for 40 degrees, yuk!!!

 

Good job we're all different, isn't it?

Wet, white and weak, hey?

Not like big, brown and boofhead. :D

 

Very strange, There is an exodus from the southern states to Qld for that very reason; they want a warmer and better lifestyle which, in turn, contributes to Qld having gross water problems, Brisbane is now on level 5 restrictions.

Bobj, if you all drank less grog there would be water aplenty and to put the record straight we only come up there in winter for the bowls.

 

That was a great photo of the little sunbird BTW

The Brisbane target for water useage is 140 litres/person/day; unfortunately, they are up around 150 litres.......And the council is losing a million litres/day on old, broken pipes. Nothing to do with grog.....

Bowls in winter??? Too cold down south...hhhmmmmmm ??? ;)

As a matter of fact, it was very cool today. 20 C-24 C, where's my woolies??

IanL & Kleinboet - I don't know what the history with you two is and I really don't care. Please take your differences offline.

Drought 'could affect power generation'

 

27 May 2007

 

The Australian government has been urged to inform residents in drought-stricken parts of the country of how the conditions will affect their power supplies.

 

ABC News reports on May 25th that the Energy Users Association (EUA) wants the government to publish the results of research into how the drought will affect electricity generation nationwide.

 

Concerns have been raised that the lack of water could affect power systems including hydro-electric generators, leading to possible blackouts across the country as early as next year.

 

Roman Domanski, spokesman for EUA, said that electricity consumers need to be told where they stand.

 

He added that since customers are making decisions and buying electricity, they need to have access to the best information that is available.

Since the South Australian government sold off the electricity to private enterprise we have the most expensive and the worst supply ever.

We are like mushrooms kept in the dark and fed on BS.

Well, then; come up to sunny Queensland, as there is room enough. And, we do have modern things, like TV and electric trains and lots of air conditioners and.....er..... very few wood heaters. ;)
